RESOLUTIONS AT CONGRESSES 2014 / 2020 AND EVALUATION 2017

RESOLUTION AT CONGRESS 2014

At Congress 2014 a resolution for the renewal of the BPW International Committees, Taskforces and Projects was adopted. A final
proposition will be submitted at Congress 2020. During the PILOT phase (2014-2020) new tools such as the "BPW International Member Projects and Experts" were established. Projects which are recognized by BPW International provide the leaders with more visibility and importance.

EVALUATION 2017

Through the EVALUATION 2017 of the new services implemented by the Resolution 2014 an important gap was discovered. Why use only
the overflow which means the projects of single members and let them profit from the leverage of BPW
International? Why ignore the main performances of our organization, the many projects which are organized by Clubs and Federations? Previously, the Presidents of Federations and Associated Clubs
have mentioned different projects in their Annual Reports which disappeared without special recognition in the archives. Therefore, a new tool will be established, the BPW
Federation & Club Projects which will collect and install the projects done by Federations and Clubs. The
collection of the Project titles done by Federations and Clubs is a basic and imperative tool not only for BPW International but for all organizational levels and members.

RESOLUTION AT CONGRESS 2020

Renewal of the organization of Committees

A Resolution or an Amendment to the Constitution will suggest new structures which will replace the former Committees not headed by Executive Board Members to create much more efficient
structures and services. The project-performances of all our Federations and Clubs cannot longer be ignored and must become visible so that the international Executive Board can choose the
different experts for specific tasks. To obtain valuable results the Project Chair and the Members must be on the same page and the current terms are not necessarily the best timeframe for
specific tasks. Just following or copying structures from environments which pays salaries or cover expenses can block the view on the unique opportunities voluntarily working organizations
offers. Members, especially members who have time and expertise like to support the organization provided that they find reliable structures which support and make their performances, competences
and capacities visible to others. Paying salaries or expenses is no issue and different Project Leaders can even work on the same issue in their own Projects. It is important that BPW recognizes
this richness and uses it to advance its development, strength and power.

The Amendment to the Constitution or Resolution will be discussed on this platform one year before Congress 2020.

All members who are convinced that the old structures need to be replaced by new, better adapted and much more efficient ones are requested to promote and to support the new proposition before
and at Congress.
